I am sorry but what you described isn't making sense to me so I really don't know how to answer your question. Can you restate it? > As you can see, the initWithTarget: param is set to self, but the purpose of > that statement is to set > self, and self isn't defined yet to my knowledge Inside of any instance method "self" exists (hidden parameter to the method call) and points to the instance that received the message. In "init" methods you do the self = [super initXxxx]; to deal with the super implementation possibly swapping the original instance out for another instance (see Cocoa does on initializers). If you sub-class NSThread you override -main to provide the implementation for the code that will run in the thread context. I am not sure why you want/think you need to override -start. -Shawn _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
